VHT Sig X Finally gets put on the VHT page

7 Dying Trees · 02-19-2008, 12:58 PM

You know, for a "boutique" amp, and for such a feature set, 1500£ really really isn't bad at all... Cheaper than a UL, cheaper than pretty much any mesa, I am actually tempted if i find out what it sounds like! And that isn't bad price wise for US people either, so I expect it to be around 75% of what a UL would cost.

VHT Amplification

And the specs? Well, 100w from 2 kt88's, well, loud enough for anyone, plus not too expensive to revalve

Three independent channels with separate tone controls.
Three-Position PRE EQ VOICING switch for each channel allowing custom tailored tone shaping.
Exclusive VHT GAIN I/GAIN II Voicing and Overdrive configuration with channel assignable, footswitchable or manual (front panel) gain boost.
MORE/LESS MODE (Gain Stacking) for each High-Gain channel to select 3 or 4 Tube Gain stages on selected channel (channel assignable as on CL/UL models).
POWER SHIFT feature, a single mini toggle switch on each channel enables channel assignable Tube/SS Rectifier and 100W/40W output power selection (operates like ENHANCE MODE on Fifty/CL/ST).
Patented DYNAMIC SENSING feature (introduced in the GP3 pre) tracks string attack/decay to optimize sustain and note detail.
Two dedicated sets of Depth and Presence controls, one set for the Clean channel and one set for the LEAD and RHYTHM channels. Each set of Depth and Presence controls are voiced for their specific channels.
Footswitchable True-Bypass, Series/Parallel Effects Loop with level controls. Suitable for using the loop as a volume boost.
Smart Foot-controller selects LEAD, RHYTHM, CLEAN, BOOST and EFFECTS. Recalls previously selected combination of channel and boost/loop. Footswitch Boost and Effects functions can then used for gain boost (BOOST) or volume boost (EFFECTS) or both. Very cool with the recall feature.
One 16 ohm output jack is provided for connection to a 16 ohm cabinet. Two additional parallel jacks with a two position 8/4 ohm selector switch are provided.
A fixed level line out jack is also provided for direct recording or slaving.
Specifications:
Output power: 100 Watts RMS max. 40 Watts RMS, low power mode.
Size: 29-1/4W X 9H X 10-1/2D
Weight: 53 pounds
Tube compliment:
1 X 12AX7 Tung Sol
5 X 12AX7A - Shuguang
2 X KT88 – Sovtek – Premium Matched
1 X 5U4G – EH

I want to try one dammit!

AHHH SO MANY KNOBS

What's it supposed to be voiced like? It'd be sweet if I could toggle between UL rhythm and Deliverance leads.

JJ Rodriguez · 02-19-2008, 01:05 PM

If it's got more options than a UL, why is it cheaper?

eaeolian · 02-19-2008, 01:05 PM

Heh. Ya gotta love an amp that has "more/less" gain switches.

Mr. S · 02-19-2008, 01:05 PM

damn that looks awesome, its not helping my lusting for a valve amp either with its attractive price

7 Dying Trees · 02-19-2008, 01:05 PM

I know, loads of knobs!

And voicing, I dunno, but it seems like an amp a lot of people are already raving about!

I'd guess les power valves, but to be honest, I haven't got a clue... I checked the price on the UK site, and yep, it is considerably cheaper than the UL. Makes it very tempting indeed!

i believe they've been saying it's due to the lack of a graphic EQ

sakeido · 02-19-2008, 01:10 PM

Just checked the local VHT dealer's price, the SIG:X is $2900 while the Ultralead w/EQ is $4800. That is quite a smokin price..
